THE HOUSE
OPPOSES IT
And May Not Make an Appropriation
for the Scheme Canal and Locks
Suggested.
Washington, Jane 12. A9 negotia
tes for the right "of way. for the, boat
railway at The Dalles are in prospect of
completion, the subject of what ia beet
to do again comes up for consideration
among men who mast deal with the
subject. Under the actof congress there
ia no doubt that the engineers will go
forward and prepare plans and specifica
tions for the boat railway and make ar
rangements for cairying out the law.
Although .the house of representatives
placed in the last river and harbor bill a
clause providing for the repeal of the en
tire boat-railway project, and this could
be taken as a sort of notification to the
war department that one branch of con
gress, at least, did not believe in the
boat railway, the senate afterwards
struck out this repeal, leaving the mutter
as it stood, and the engineers now have
nothing else to do but go forward with
the work. However, the delay in secur
ing a right of way, together with the
time which it will take to prepare plans
for the boat railway, wiil no doubt carry
the affair into the next session of con
gress, and possibly by that time a differ
ent proposition may be brought forward.
A great many men who have given the
matter careful study believe that the
most feasible proposition is a canal and
locks, and that it would be a good thing
for tbe Oregon delegation to make an
effort to eubetitute a canal and locks for
the boat-railway project. It will be al
most impossible to get 'appropriations
through congress for the boat railway.
The temper bf the bouse was shown in its
passing the repeal of the project, and if
there is a river and harbor bill in the
coming session, there is no reason to
doubt that the committee of rivers and
harbors and the houee will again put in
. this repeal. Perhaps in the compromise
there may bean opportunity to authorize
the canal and locks. Members of con
gress have been advised by prominent
engineers that they privately do not be
lieve in the boat railway scheme, and
while they say that they could construct
a boat railway, they at tbe same time
point out that the expense would be
something tremendous, and that it would
be better to build a canal. Very few
engineers have ever favored the prop
osition, and it is doubtful if any recom
mendation will go to the coming congress
in .favor of a boat railway. The Oregon
delegation may be able 'to secure a pro
ject for a canal. Tbey will receive the
hearty endorsement of engineeers who
have investigated the subject, and it is
believed tbe war department would give
its approval of such a scheme.
